Owner’s Manual for your new ULTRA DELPHI ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER Experience the Power of Ionized Water from Emco Tech Ionizer NEW ULTRA DELPHI Convertible Undersink DARC-Double Automatic Reverse Cleaning system The electrodes are the crucial component in your ionizer. All other units on the market clean by a simple reverse polarity - which still allows some scale buildup. The Alphion MX offers the patented new DARC (Double Automatic Reverse Cleaning) system. This new system will completely eliminate the mineral scaling from on the electrodes ensuring you will have many long years of healthy water. Electrolysis Platinum Titanium Mesh Electrode Plate Mesh Platinum-coated Titanium electrodes with a proprietary matting enhances processing efficiency while at the same time provides extreme resistance to mineral deposits. It is specially designed to drain off all excess water in the electrolysis chamber. Alphion MX's electrodes are made of solid titanium, one of the toughest - yet human-friendly metals known. This provides the electrodes with longevity built to last at least 20 years. The titanium is coated with platinum for excellent, yet durable, conductivity. Advanced Computerized PCB Hi-Tech Microcomputer (MICOM) system self diagnoses every function within the machine and can detect the pH and quality of any water source to ensure ionization is always optimal. Flow Control Knob This special feature has been, until now, only available on much more expensive ionizers. This enables you to control the flow of water easily on your ionizer which in turn affects the strength of the alkaline water and -ORP. The slower the water flow the more time the water has to be altered by the ionization process. User-friendly Control Panel and Display The controls have been designed with the Western kitchen in mind. The new control panel is membrane sealed making it easy to clean. A gentle touch on the buttons is all that is needed to change any setting. Extra Calcium Port This allows you to add extra calcium to your ionizer. Some areas however have "soft water" or water that is low in naturally occurring calcium and other dissolved minerals. This feature is intended to boost ionization performance in soft water areas when necessary. From CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW PURCHASE! You have just purchased the finest, most advanced water system in the world! Your new ionizer is designed to provide you with many years of the cleanest, healthiest and most "functional" water available. There are many specific uses and benefits of this amazing water, so read this manual carefully to learn how to get both optimum performance out of your ionizer and to protect your investment. Your new Ultra Delphi produces filtered alkaline, ionized water. Just exactly what is that? The Ultra Delphi employs computer accurate and selectable magnetic energy to perform electrolysis through patented platinum bonded titanium electrodes inside a water cell. Inside this advanced cell, the magnetic energy separates the water into an alkaline (high pH) and acid (low pH) stream without using any chemicals. Ionizing the water in this way re-structures the molecules and reduces their cluster size, binds extra oxygen molecules, and concentrates ionized, absorbable and beneficial minerals like Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium. Your newUltra Delphi also produces Acidic water. This type water is low in pH, less than pH6 and has many excellent uses. You will now have the convenience and benefits of water that "functions" in many ways that ordinary tap, filtered or bottled water cannot.

The Acid Water has both antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It also has an astringent effect and can be used for cosmetic purposes. You can get Alkaline/Acidic electrolyzed-reduced water by electrolyzing the water after filtering impurities. Alkaline reduced water is the optimal water for health because it is rich in minerals including calcium. Acidic Water is good for skin. Use it while brushing your teeth, gargle with it and use it as a natural mouth wash! It is an excellent astringent; use it for washing your face or as a natural after shave. In the kitchen use it to help clean kitchen utensils. This setting has sterilizing properties - use it to sterilize cutting boards, dish towels etc… Some uses for the different levels of Alkaline Water Precautions for use of Alkaline water - don't develop a "drinking" problem! For initial consumption period (4-7 days). Let your body adjust slowly to the increase in pH. Many people find that this lower level is actually perfect for them. After the adjustment period you can drink the water at this next level. This level is also great for cooking rice and other grains - fluffier and great tasting! Some people like this for drinking though it can start to taste strong It is superb for making tea or coffee as it enhances the taste and reduces bitterness! Generally most people find this very strong tasting and with powerful detoxifying effects. Great for boiling vegetables! Alkaline water will eliminate the bitter taste and brings out more of their natural color. If you have never consumed Alkaline Water - do not use a setting higher than 1 to begin with. Let your body adjust slowly and naturally for 4-7 days. After this initial adjustment period, you can gradually increase the alkalinity of the water. Do not take medications with Alkaline Water. Take medications only with Filtered Water. Consult with a physician before drinking Alkaline Water if you have: - Chronic disease - A dysfunctional liver or intestines - Are currently under medical treatment Do not drink Alkaline Water if you have achlorhydria. Consult a physician before using Acidic Water if you have: - Sensitive skin - Allergies Only use potable drinking water in your ionizer. Poor water quality may have negative effects on your health and your ionizer! Most municipal water sources will be fine in your ionizer. Well water and water from smaller systems should be checked, and may require pre-filtering. Your ionizer is not under warranty for any damage or required cleaning caused by hard water deposits. Safety Precautions Please read these pages carefully. They contain very important information to keep YOU and your new ionizer safe! What would I use the Filtered Water for? The pH of Filteried Water is neither raised nor lowered and would be the same as your tap water. This water is simply cleaned of impurities by the advanced filtration system. You can use it both as drinking water and to take medications with. 4 Warning Property damage, serious injury or death may result if these instructions and precautions are not observed. Caution Physical injuries or material damage may be caused if the instructions are not observed. Do's and Dont's DO NOT Do not disassemble it. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

Your ionizer has an attractive colored FND display that easily identifies your selections. A revolutionary new automatic dynamic flow system employing patented SOL valves. With the SOL valve system, your ionizer produces top quality alkaline water without the separate cleaning cycle of every other ionizer. The SOL valve system keeps desirable flow levels and pressure which prevents scale build up and protects from overloading the electrolysis cell. This feature also reduces the amount of flow from the Acidic drain line. Easy to understand symbols and colors identify the type and level of water you have selected on the machine. Voice Indicator A voice alerts you to your selection of alkaline, acidic or purified water. You can adjust the volume level or simply switch the sound ON/OFF as you desire. 5-layered platinum-titanium electrodes We use the most advanced platinum-titanium electrode plating process that consistently produces water with optimum ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) at the selected pH level. 9 settings for pH Wide choice range of pH. Enhanced convenience with One-Touch operation Triple diaphragms Unique diaphragms made of natural pulp coated with PE and processed with surfactants keep pH, ORP and ion exchanges between acid and alkaline uniform despite changes in pressure, flow amount or velocity. They prevent scale buildup by employing a new material called fremion. Digital Filter Life Indicator The easy to read digital indicator gives you an approximate indication of remaining water filter life. Optimum performance is ensured by always changing your filter on time. In addition to the digital counter, a new indicator light will flicker when your current filter life is up, reminding you to change your filter. Mountain range-like specialized electrodes When a cross section of an electrode is examined at 700 times magnification, you can see that the electrodes have very sharp points and form valleys. Your ionizer employs special electrodes that generate reduced water with optimal ORP and stable pH level. 9 You remove the filter cover and the spring-loaded filter housing makes it a snap to replace your filter. MAKE SURE NOT TO THROW AWAY THE GRAY FILTER CUP AT BOTTOM OF FILTER!!! Top quality 9 step single-body nano-silver multi-stage filter MICOM control system Premium filter materials ensure production of healthier and cleaner water, trapping a wide variety of contaminants while allowing beneficial minerals to pass through.

How to Measure pH (Fig.24) Fig.28 Fig.24 Important Note: Water quality and mineral content vary greatly in different localities and will directly impact performance of your ionizer with respect to pH. 1 Fill one of the test tubes provided about 1/4 full with alkaline, acidic or purified water. 2 Drop 2 or 3 drops of the pH reagent into the container and shake it. If the reagent and water are not mixed well, the correct result may not be displayed. 3 How to use the mineral port 1 Stop the water flow prior to calcium replacement. - Water will overflow if you open the calcium cap while water is coming out. 2 Unscrew the cap to the left and remove. -The first time you remove it the cap may be tight. Use a butter knife to work it free. 3 Take the basket apart from the cap and dispose of the remaining beads. The beads never completely disappear - it's the calcium coating on the beads that slowly releases into the water. Beads will release calcium for about 1-2 months depending on amount of use and pH of water. 4 Add the new calcium beads and close the cap. 5 Insert the basket into the calcium port and twist the cap closed. - Water will overflow if you do not close the cap tightly. Fig.29 The pH value is determined by matching the color the pH color chart provided.

Fig.33 How to Replace the Filter 1 2 Fig.34 3 Fig.38 How to Replace the filter 5 When the digital filter life indicator reaches full or you see the flickering filter symbol, it is time to replace your filter. (Fig.33) The water will initially come out discolored (light to charcoal gray) due to carbon particulates in the new filter. Open the filter housing cover. (Fig.34) This is not harmful and is typical of all GAC filters. First, slide the cover upwards. Then, slide the cover to the left and remove it. Allow the water to flow for 2-3 minutes in the "Filtered" mode and this will flush all the carbon dust. Remove the expired filter. (Fig.35) Immediately after filter replacement, the water will come out black and unclear due to the activated carbon particulates in the new filter but will become clear momentarily. (It is not harmful.) Taking hold of the filter securely with your right hand, press the filter firmly down against the spring loaded mechanism to disengage the top of the filter and then pull it toward you and up to remove it. Fig.39 6 The upper part of the filter is separated from housing by pressing firmly down. Once you have engaged the spring loaded mechanism, you can then easily remove the filter from the main body by pulling it toward you. Fig.35 4 Flush out the GAC carbon dust. (Fig.38) Reset the filter life indicator. (Fig.39) Press the "Reset" button located at the top of the filter housing compartment for 2-3 seconds while in standby mode (water not running through the ionizer). 7 Insert the new filter into the compartment. (Fig.36, 37) Replace the filter housing cover. (Fig.40) Fig.40 Seat the large opening on the bottom of the filter cartridge onto the base in the center of the filter cushion. Fig.36 Push the filter down and into the housing compartment ensuring the opening at the top of the filter is seated properly into the fitting at the top of the housing. Please replace filter when any one of the flowing occur: Spin the filter to ensure a good seal on the O-rings. Please replace filter when any one of the flowing occur: Check for leakage by running water through your ionizer before replacing the housing cover. When severely polluted water has been run through the ionizer and filter. Excessive odor in output water and/or severely decreased flow rate.

It improves water taste and odors, and it is particularly effective in removing the chloride. You get calcium on tap! 2 Water Cell DARC System Tourmaline (Biostone) Alkaline Water (Flexible steel hose) Top Sink Tourmaline emits Far Infra Red (FIR) energy naturally. FIR produces well documented health benefits and it also has an amazing effect on water. The Biostone contains the semi -precious gemstone tourmaline in ceramic form, so you get FIR on tap! 3 Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) The workhorse of the filtration media. GAC is especially effective at removing chlorine, its odor and taste, agricultural chemicals, phenol, trihalomethane and other chemical contaminants. Silver is coated on the surface of the granular activated carbon to inhibit bacterial growth in between use. 4 Non woven fabric filter Filters out sediment and particulate. 5 UF(Ultra Fine) Filter Under Sink Hollow heavy duty fiber with pores that will effectively filter down to 0.01M in size, removing bacteria and other micro-organisms. 32 33 Trouble Shooting Guide Abnormal condition Resolution A power plug is not property inserted, or it is inserted into a faulty outlet. Properly insert power plug into a correctly functioning power outlet The fuse is blown. The fuse is not inserted properly. Replace the fuse. A spare fuse is included in your reagent kit. (3A / 250V fuse) The Function Display Panel / display indicators do not come on even after turning the tap on. Faulty PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Immediately unplug the unit and contact your dealer to arrange service. pH test shows alkaline water color as neutral (7) while acidic water color gets yellow (6). This is normal if initial pH is 6.5 Faulty or evaporated reagent: alkaline / acidity are always produced in inverse proportion. Therefore, showing an acidic color means inversely that alkaline water has to be generated from the unit. Lack of alkaline color can result from a chemical reaction where carbonic acid in water evaporates some test reagent elements. Test pH value on level 3 or 4 water; replace reagent. Power supply is suddenly cut off while operating the unit. Elevated level of salt in the water or high TDS; extended operation at high pH; sudden flux in electrical current. In these cases your machine will shut down automatically to protect the electrodes and circuitry. Wait - the unit will become operational again after about one hour. Your ionizer has a safety mechanism built-in to protect the electrodes and circuitry. This mechanism will shut the ionizer down automatically. This mechanism protects the unit from overuse or excessive electric current. The Function Display Panel does not come on. Low output of alkaline water from the unit. 34 Cause(s) Filter is clogged. Premature clogging may be caused by sudden drop in water quality and an influx of sediment or other contaminants, which stress the filter. Replace your filter. Abnormal condition Cause(s) Expired filter from ordinary use or premature clogging due to flux in water quality. Replace your filter. Sudden flux in water quality with elevated level of Choline (not Chlorine). Elevated Choline levels are observed in some areas during summer months. These levels fall within safe drinking water standards, yet will cause a reaction with ionized water causing a unique smell. Select lower pH level (1-2). If still present, filter replacement may be necessary. You have high hardness (calcium primarily) in your water. The white is extracted CaCO3 (Calcium carbonate). After Co2 in water is bonded with Ca where elevated levels of CO3 exist in your water. In water where elevated levels of CO3 exist, what you see after ionization is Co2 in the water bonded with Ca. This is calcium! It is not only harmless, but actually good for you. Remember the ionizer separates and condenses the alkaline minerals and this is what you are seeing. You can lower the setting (1-2) and reduce this effect. Typically this only occurs in hard water areas. Your water bottle or receptacle is foul and needs cleaning. Contamination mixes with alkaline water when filling your bottle. Expired filter. Clean your bottle or receptacle. Try selecting lower pH level (1~2). Replace your filter. Water leakage from the filter cartridge housing. Filter not installed correctly into filter housing. Remove your filter and reinstall it properly following the filter replacement instructions. Increase the quantity of source water inflow. No acid water flow from the acidic output port. Acidic output hose is bent, kinked or otherwise restricted. Straighten the bent hose; increase water flow from supply. Strange smell from Alkaline water. Water appears milkish; white snow like particles in the bottom of your glass. At first no smell, but then smell from the alkaline water about one hour after. Clean Pre-filter Low pressure in your household plumbing. Ensure water supply valves are fully open. The water pressure in house may be too low. The input hose is bent, kinked or otherwise restricted. Straighten the bent hose.
